Indian Women with Colosseum

Indian Women with Colosseum Tattoo by Sunny Bhanushali at Aliens Tattoo, Mumbai. He is from one of the European countries, However he loves India and would love to stay all his life in India. He was looking for a tattoo which shows both, his origin and his love towards India. He got this small line art drawing which he found as a cut out from some fabric. He was looking for a very simple line art, however he saw our tattoo art and he was quite impressed with our photo-realistic tattoo work. I resketched the whole thing and added colossium as a background to fulfil his original idea of his tattoo. We thought of putting a frame to the whole design but later he thought of keeping it open as he may think of full sleeve tattoo. I worked on this one all night, enjoyed every bit of it. You all would love this one, here is the output.

Nero’s head was also replaced several times with the heads of succeeding emperors. Despite its pagan links, the statue remained standing well into the medieval era and was credited with magical powers. It came to be seen as an iconic symbol of the permanence….read more
